Rachel Rambles

It has been awhile since I have written and I have to admit I have missed it. I take such Pride in this blog and I always get so excited when I publish a new post. Lately I've been so busy, I am approaching the near to the end of yet another semester of college. I have only one semester left after I complete this one. That fact in and of itself is quite scary. I've been a student all my life and moving on from that can seem exciting but also
scary because it it all I have ever known. Yes! The idea of no more early classes, long monotone lectures and research papers are reasons for celebration but what of all the people I have met through those times. I will be moving on into the World, while some friends are joining me in the World while other still remain in the College Scene I feel the worry of losing connections with friends. It is just like the whole High School Graduation all over again except this time we will not have a hometown to link us back together. However seeing my Mom and Dad's relationships with their friends give me hope. My Mom has this friend Tammy and she lives in Kansas City while my Mom lives in Des Moines and despite the distance they have remained close friends to this day. Same with my Dad and his high school friends, Dave and Pat. Weekend trips and joined vacations and simple hours long phone calls are just the beginning of how they keep in touch, plus with technology growing like Skype I have no doubt in the relationships and friendships I have made. As long as I make an effort to keep that connection and my friends do too then I guess all that worry will melt away. Just like I am hoping all this bizarre snow will melt away by tomorrow! I mean, Come On Mother Nature. It is MAY there should me no snow and only rays of sunshine falling from the sky.
Today was the one day, I really wished more than anything the Weather reports were wrong. I mean I can handle Rain, I actually enjoy the Thunderstorms. I just enjoyed my first Thunderstorm at UNI two nights ago. I enjoy watching the lightning light up the night and the sound of thunder shake the sleeping people. It is like the thunder is shouting "Wake up! Your missing out on my night!" Then the sound of the rain, I sleep more with the sound of heavy rain against the window but now all that rain is turning into little ice daggers which is not Cool! Walking to my Final this afternoon was not very enjoyable and my umbrella is officially broken. However on a more positive note, my stress and worry for this week is over. (Until Friday, when I will have to make revisions on my research paper due Tuesday. But I am not going think about that! Anyway I was saying...) I have just finished one of two finals I had this week. I only have two left next week and my summer will start!!!! I am so excited!!! I have lots of plans for the Summer!
This Summer will be filled with adventures. I plan on having many fun adventures this summer which you will all be able to read about because I will probably post all the adventures I have this summer on the blog because...Hi That's what blogs are for...right! :)   Also this summer I am looking forward in rejoining my Walgreeen's Family and working for that Casheesh! In between work and adventures I plan on making Major Headway on my Prophecy Book, I can't explain why but whenever I tried studying I found myself thinking about anything other than that and my mind would always wander off into that world. So I have many new chapters and idea's to work out. My book is something else I am not going to let get away from me not this summer!  
Another thing I will not let get away is all the new techniques I have learned this year. This semester I took a Stress Management Class and I learned about some Awesome relaxation techniques which I plan on implementing into my life. I am now a proud participant in Yoga. I am still a beginner and haven't even gone out and bought a yoga mat or anything yet but I find it very relaxing and I could see myself getting more flexible and enhance my balance. Something I look forward to because *I am not clumsy! It is just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies and the walls get in my way!.....Literally.
Before getting too far into the future, I am still one weekend away of that relaxing and exciting summer. As for now I am still in the intense study and homework mode. I have even missed my T.V. shows recently with all my work. Having nothing pressing due tomorrow I am not stressed and catching up on some relaxing TV shows. However since I have been gone I have found my relaxing show has been mixing some things up while I have been away. General Hospital is a soap I watch since One Life to Live and All My Children has been taken off the Air (cable). Since leaving I have always been a fan of GH and since then I have been even more immersed in Port Charles soap drama. But recently OLTL and AMC have returned to the Internet. Prospect Park and HULU to be more specific and I am trying to have an open mind about the returning shows I really am but it is so hard with the new characters. Let's start on a positive note instead of a negative one.

All My Children has been a show, that even before I heard it was being canceled. I had lost interest in it and and I dislikes some of the characters and where the Writers left my favorites. I Never Understood the whole fascination with Kendall and I hated Greenlee but I like Kendall more than her. I did like the whole Kendall and Zach combo. Zach has always been an interesting character to me. Ryan was a favorite and I was a Fan of Ryan and Annie and their daughter Emma. I never understood the Erica Cane character either but I accepted the fact she was a Star and I sort of liked her whole family acceptance and her love for her daughters. Bianca and her daughter Miranda I really liked and the fact this time around Miranda and AJ are teens and I would like to see a romance happen between those two. I was excited to see Pete...whoever he is? I really liked that fact that he is good looking, confident and a bit of a computer nerd. I am excited to see who this mysterious Guardian is when it comes to a new girl. And Each time I see a returning AMC Character I get excited. I can't wait to see Ryan return and hopefully Emma return as a teenager. Because before the show being cancelled I often thought what it would be like to see Emma as a teenager and I always thought maybe Emma and AJ would be GF/BF but since Emma isn't here yet I really like Miranda and AJ together. I am excited to see what else is in store for this show and I will continue to watch it.
One Life to Live on the other hand, I have mixed feelings about. I told myself I would give it 10 episodes until I make a decision. There are several things I dislike about OLTL.
1. The drama and "rights" to the name Starr Manning and John McBain. and the fact they can no longer return to General Hospital. The fact Cole, Starr and Hope are gone. (Nooooooo!)
2. The fact they have none of my favorite characters back on the show like Gigi, Rex and Shane and others. Another thing I do not like is that fact they changed the character Destiny. Now she is a skinny little twig of a person and the girl is not Destiny! So the reason I think I like All My Children better than OLTL is because they managed to get back all the original characters and the actors who played them. There have been no recasting which I think is what is most annoying and disappointing is the fact OLTL hasn't done that. I was surprised when I discovered Corbin Bleu on the show and I was actually happy! I am excited to see what his character will bring to the show.
General Hospital is my show and when I when returned to it Lulu was missing and I found out she lost her memory?! WTF! The actress changed and she lost her memory and is kissing Milo?! So many things wrong in that show and the What are the Writers thinking? Connie returns integrated but can not be with Sonny?! But on OLTL Jessica and Tess loved Nash and once they were integrated Jessica and Nash could live happily but Sonny and Connie can't? WHY? But maybe Sonny and Olivia can be together because I sort of liked them together but because of Claudia and Jonny the timing was off but maybe they can finally try a romance? Maybe! "Yeah, Maybe. It could happen." I love that movie; Angels in the Outfield. I just watched it and it reminded me of my childhood. So I watched that and the Adventures in Babysitting. Awesome movies down memory lane.
Back to Dante and Lulu in General Hospital, There baby is dead and they don't even know yet and now Lulu lost her memory and love for Dante. Why is the Writers so cruel to Dante! He is my favorite. Michael is also a favorite and he has just lost Starr and I REALLY LIKED them together! Why?! Milo is the sweetest but NO Lulu. Just NO! Sabina and Patrick are finally together Yay! But I cant help but remember Robin is still out there too so it is bitter sweet. Speaking of Bitter Is Britt the Bitch really prego because since when? Blah she is like Lisa Niles and will not just lose and still interrupt Sabina and Patrick. I dont now what the F is up with Carly and AJ but all I know is they are having sex way too much to supposedly hating each other?
To Any General Hospital Fans out there, Please be my Geek friend so we can Geek about GH!!!!

So this long rant, has made me think of creating another blog: Rachel Rambles and make it into a journal type blog but who knows? For now these rants will just be titled Rachel Rambles because that is what it is. So I am Rachel and I need to ramble on about my life to someone who understands or to no one out on a blogger.
